WATCH – Ben Stein Is FED UP With Media LIES About Trump, Issues THIS Public Response

Ben Stein is a conservative economist and former speechwriter for Richard Nixon. Stein is not a huge fan of President-Elect Donald Trump so when he came to Trump’s defense, it was a bit of a surprise on both sides of the aisle.

“Nobody in the Trump campaign has ever said a racist word, and yet they keep calling him a racist. He’s not a racist,” Stein told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto.

Stein pointed out that the entertainment industry is trying to “shut down free debate in Hollywood.” He said that when Hollywood liberals want to blacklist someone, they simply call them “racist.”

Stein’s remarks were in response to Meryl Streep’s acceptance speech at last Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards. She offended a lot of people including some of the Hollywood elite present at the awards show. Denzel Washington, Mel Gibson, and Vince Vaughn were not impressed with Streep’s speech.

Nicole Kidman is an Australian-born actress who also has U.S. citizenship. “We as a country need to support whoever is the president,” Kidman said during an interview with the BBC. “That is what the country is based on. And however that happened, it happened, and let’s go.”

Stein applauded Kidman for “standing up for what is right and supporting the President as long as he is not doing something we sincerely disagree with.”

Conservative economist and former speechwriter for Richard Nixon, Ben Stein, has had his issues with Donald Trump, so what he just said shocked everyone!

“Nobody in the Trump campaign has ever said a racist word, and yet they keep calling him a racist. He’s not a racist,” Stein told Neil Cavuto on Fox News yesterday. Stein has been in the news a lot lately for slamming the liberal elites in Hollywood.
